Description
Tres Chic Imports offers this mid-century longline wool knit coat in a warm biscuit tone, trimmed with ornate black and gold metallic galloon and hand-applied beadwork. Designed as an open-front duster or hostess-style coat, the silhouette falls fluidly to full length, allowing the vertical trim to frame the body with quiet drama.
The wool knit is notably dense and heavy, giving the piece exceptional drape and presence, while the smooth satin lining preserves the structure and wearability. Decorative trim appears along the front opening, sleeves, and hem, creating a balanced, architectural composition characteristic of mid-1960s global-influenced boutique design.
An elegant example of textile-forward mid-century outerwear, intended to be worn open and appreciated for material, weight, and surface detail rather than tailoring alone.
Curator’s Note
This coat reflects the mid-1960s moment when American and import boutiques embraced global decorative traditions—metallic braids, ceremonial trims, and beadwork—within modern, minimalist silhouettes. Produced in Hong Kong during the height of skilled wool knit manufacturing, the piece emphasizes material quality and embellishment over branding.
The substantial weight of the knit and the intact satin lining speak to its original craftsmanship, while its long, unbroken lines allow it to read almost as a textile object when displayed. It bridges fashion and decorative study, offering insight into how mid-century garments balanced wearability with ornamental surface design.
